I was wondering if it's necessary to load /install/upgrade.php if upgrading from 1.2.x -> latest 1.2.x version?

The 1.2.8 release announcement says that we must run upgrade.php to update the template, but the documentation (upgrade.html) doesn't mention this at all , so was wondering if it's possible to add a note to clarify that if the announcement includes 'run upgrade.php', the user should also do so to finalise the installation.

Thanks

I thought the 1.2.8 post was poorly organized.... the description really sucked on how to upgrade.

Now now, it was clear for most people...

We also have a wiki which is updated frequently:

[Wiki: upgrading]

Thanks for the link to the Wiki It does help! Not sure if everyone is aware of the fact the Wiki is more up-to-date (I wasn't until today ^^ so perhaps this could also be reflected in the documentation please? Thanks!

Just a note: The wiki page on upgrading (last time I read the page anyway) explains how to do a maintenance or major release upgrade requiring the upgrader. Some releases (mostly security vulnerability patches) will not require running the upgrader.

Most of us can follow and read instructions fine
